H. G., give me the revision number for when it worked and for when it was completely destroyed, and I will look into it. In the meantime, you may revert it to the revision that last worked.

Well, when recalling old revisions the Design Wizard button never seems to do anything, so I guess it only works in the context of a real page. There is one problem that sticks out when I try to edit the current page, though: it has a < character in the text of the Notes section near the end, which the CkEditor sees as the start of a HTML tag (and consequently completely messes up the indentations, as this imaginary tag is never closed). Originally this < character was embedded in the text as the HTML escape &lt;.

If I look at the page source, that same < is also in it in unescaped form, and my first guess is that this is what cuts off most of the Design Wizard when it gets opened. (Initially it is on the page in display:none style to hide it untill the button gets pressed.)

The (spontaneous) replacement of the &lt; by < occurred from revision #7441 to revision #8100.

I would hate to lose the edits that I have made since then, though, especially since it is likely not possible to edit it through the usual form without the same corruption occurring again too. If we are lucky repairing the latest version might just be a matter of restoring the < to its original &lt; form. But to be able to do that the submission script would have to be repaired, otherwise it would just replace it back on submission.
